That's not what I see at all, there are people I barely knew that would tell me about absolute absurd events happening to close friends or relatives of them, and its clear they just need the attention, and to these people I can only offer Yups, Dangs, and Yeah that's crazies
You're saying I'm not clearly indicating, otherwise why would I have to tell them? In all seriousness, though, it only happened a couple of times in my life, its not an ongoing thing. If they cannot pick up on me being unhappy with the conversation, then so be it, life goes on...plus I wouldn't want to offend anyone directly, especially not someone who is a bit off
